What reading level is Political Recollections, 1840 to 1872 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under these circumstances it was quite natural to turn to the army, and to canvass the claims of Gen. Grant. The idea of his nomination was exceedingly dis- tasteful to me. I personally knew him to be in- temperate. In politics he was a Democrat. He did not profess to be a Republican, and the only vote he had ever given was cast for James Buchanan in 1856, when the Republican party made its first grand struggle to rescue the Government from the clutches of slavery. Moreover, he had had no train...ing whatever in civil administration, and no one thought of him as a statesman. But the plea of his 320 POLITICAL RECOLLECTIONS. Availability as a military chieftain was urged with great effect, and was made irresistible by the appre- hension that if not nominated by the Republicans the Democrats would appropriate him, and make him a formidable instrument of mischief. His nom- ination, however, was only secured by cautious and timely diplomacy, and potent appeals to his sordid- ness, in the shape of assurances that he should have the office for a second term.
